84-year-old donates entire life savings of Rs 1 crore for Defence personnel

Charity by celebrities and power brands are a common tale, but an 84-year-old retired bank employee has tugged heartstrings by donating his entire life savings amounting to Rs. 1 crore to the National Defence Fund.

Hailing from Gujarat’s Bhavnagar, Janardan Bhatt and his wife donated Rs one crore to National Defence Fund from their savings.

When Janardan, a retired State Bank of India (SBI) clerk saw reports of martyred Army jawans at borders and facing herculean challenges under Pakistan-promoted terrorism, he decided to take the major step by doing his bit for the Indian



Army.

He had saved a good amount of money from his earnings as well as invested in various funds from time to time, which gave him good returns when he retired.

 He is an inspiration today for others .
